Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It is an elaborately staged tableau, a dazzling use of the camera to achieve essentially theatrical effects. And judged on that basis, Richard Attenborough has given us a breathtaking evening.

rotten:
An often too-clever, sometimes moving piece.

rotten:
[Attenborough] has chosen to make a big, elaborate, sometimes realistic film whose elephantine physical proportions and often brilliant all-star cast simply overwhelm the material with a surfeit of good intentions.

fresh:
Dedicated, exhilarating, shrewd, mocking, funny, emotional, witty, poignant and technically brilliant.
